[Feature Request] Being able to install a program in a prefix #171

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

What I mean is that you can open an installer with q4wine,then you create a new prefix and select the wine version for that or set that it uses the same prefix as another program.then it launches the installer and then it is installed to that prefix. Also being able to right click a installer in a file manager and select "Install with q4wine" would be cool.

What if you switch around the order of actions?

  1. Q4Wine: Create new prefix (at this step you set architecture and version).
  2. Q4Wine(NewPrefix)>system: Uninstaller (At the uninstaller you specify patch to the installer and install it).
  3. Q4Wine(NewPrefix): Create new folder "Apps".
  4. Q4Wine(NewPrefix)>Apps: Create launch icon for newly installed app.
  5. Done. As for right-click action in file manager, I see an option to "open with q4wine", and if it's an installer it'd install to the Default wineprefix, so there's that. Though it'd be cool to have a list of available prefixes to execute that installer with.
